wealth won't save your soul

as we journey along

on life's wicked road

so selfish are we

for silver

platinum and gold

you can treasure your wealth

your diamonds and your gold

but my friend it won't save

it won't save

your poor wicked soul

for when god calls

from his heavenly home on high

to your earthly wealth

some how

no matter what you think

you must say goodbye

then it's useless to you

if you've strayed from the fold

just don't stray from the fold

for my friend

it won't save

oh

it won't save your wicked soul

the rich man like all

oh lord

will be judged at that time

but all of his wealth

will be left behind

for no matter how much

earthly wealth you get

well

my friend it won't save

won't save your poor wicked soul

a won't save

oh

won't save your poor wicked soul

oh

no

it won't save your poor wicked soul

it won't save your soul
